so I wonder why we not just add the disabling of the scan to the request right here. Our request queue will always fail on the first request and then do not execute the other ones. Especially when you have to send two requests this kind of request queue behavior is pretty nice.
I also think that this is currently a bit racy in error handling path. So you might want to check this in all cases. One other thing to consider is might be introducing helper for adding certain commands like disable LE scan if they are used more than once.

Marcel
